Satin finish…specifically, Clinique Cheek Pop, which has the most perfect blush formula, IMO.
Yep, I agree – Clinique got their blushes just right!
Agreed! The Cheek Pop formula is amazing
i love Satin blushes with a little sheen.
Nothing too matte or dry looking…..I am liking the RMS re-dimention hydra powder blushes or the Hourglass ones as they give you a little glow without being glittery. I am starting to like some of the new cream or mousse like blushes now too as they give you some luminousity without the sparkle….
Honestly it’s so hard to decide! I like a luminous, dewy finish but I don’t like too much actual shimmer, if that makes sense. I mostly use cream and liquid blushes.
“Luminous” – like the Becca Luminous blushes that were discontinued (I think it was before the company shut down entirely but maybe it was with the final closing of the business). Some of MAC’s Mineralize blushes (the ones that were LE) also have a similar finish that just looks so dewy and luminous when they’re buffed, even though they’re powder blushes.
Skin-like mattes or satins like what is commonly found in baked geleé blush formulas. I definitely love how these appear more melded with my skin. And that these don’t emphasize any advancing texture, either. I rely on my highlighter for any highlighting of the top of my cheekbones instead of going for anything too overtly shimmery in my blush these days.
My favourite blush finish is semi matte that has a satiny finish. Clinique’s Cheek Pops are an example.
They’re gorgeous! I have four of them, plus a holiday palette from a few years ago with three more!
I only have one of the Cheek Pops (I think it’s Plum Pop from the very first release). I was really excited to get it because (if I recall correctly), it’s a dupe for a blush I love. Mine has so little pigmentation though – I don’t know if I got a dud or what. But I was reluctant to get any more of them after that. Maybe I should give one of the new shades a try.
Luminous or slightly shimmery.
Satin – no glitter, shimmer or sparkle, just a healthy glow.
Satin, no doubt.
Not a big blush person, but I prefer powder or cream-to-powder formulas.
Oh and ever so slightly luminous or highlighter-like (without having bits of sparkle).
